ports. putting it on rail and ending it to the states. in essence they think it's stealing business and taking jobs away from american ports. the maritime commission said it's not stealing it's called competition. the port of oakland today filled with ships, cargo and a long line of patiently waiting truck drivers. >> mondays and fridays it's like this. and some days it gets worse. >> american ports are busy. but also losing business to canada. and 2007 more than 321,000 teus or containers entered through canadian ports. three years later that number jumped 23%. >> why not do it in american ports and keep americans working. >> reporter: it's a tax the report recommends congress

should consider revising. >> it show it is key challenges that u.s. ports are changing in this globally competitive world. >> reporter: she points to the port's future expansion and the old oakland army base. >> what all of this means is that if we can be more competitive we cannot only preserve the maritime related jobs here but we also can grow those jobs. >> back live now as we watched this cargo ship make its way, i can tell in the end that the federal report concludes that carriers violate no u.s. law, treaty or agreement. reporting live tonight here in oakland, mike mibach. republican presidential candidate mitt romney attended the opening ceremonies of the olympic games. romney is on a three nation tour of europe and the middle east today he met with ireland's prime minister and tried to deflect some of the
